Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.


Human Rights

The hon. Gentleman will be aware that the police use the word "containment" and that protesters use the word "kettling". Part of the problem is communication and people using different language. It would be hard to persuade protesters to use the word "containment" instead of "kettling". If the hon. Gentleman reads my speech in Hansard, he will see that I have used both words, not quite 50:50, but not far short. I hope that my communication will get through to both sides. In conclusion, the police have a difficult job in handling major public order incidents.
